Synopsis

Scary Creatures of the Arctic by Penny Clarke

Scary Creatures is an entertaining series investigating the more grisly aspects of natural history. What kinds of animals can survive in sub-zero temperatures? What can they find to eat during the long Arctic winters? Is the Arctic in danger, and what can we do to help? The book introduces us to the whole range of Arctic animals, from the seriously scary polar bear to the smaller creatures on which it preys. Scary Creatures Of the Arctic is packed with facts written in an accessible question-and-answer format. Special x-ray pages enable readers to see how the internal structure of an animal corresponds to its external appearance. The book features startlingly realistic illustrations and impressive photographs. Informative captions, a complete glossary and an index make this title an ideal educational text.
